Praise the Lord—his power confess:Praise him in his holiness;Praise him as the theme inspires,Praise him as his fame requires.

2

Let the trumpet's lofty soundSpread its loudest notes around;Let the harp unite in praise,With the sacred minstrel's lays.

3

Let the organ join to blessGod, the Lord of righteousness;Tune your voice to spread the fameOf the great Jehovah's name.

4

All who dwell beneath his light,In his praise your hearts unite;While the stream of song is poured,Praise and magnify the Lord.
